Lyrics

I catch you digging in my trash
For stuff I've long thrown away
You bring it back on a tray

And I hear you wheezing in the hall
Spreading gems and old news
You always love to confuse
I flee the light just to live in your shadow
I'm needing mercy and you offer me blame

Chorus 1
Dear shame:
You're oh so eager to toy with me
You're always stealing the joy in me
You love to whisper my name, dear shame, dear shame

You've got me living like a bug
Crawling in fear
(It's been a very long year.)
I dream of growing some wings
I think I'm flying away
Then you point and you spray
All my hidden secrets
Crave the light of forgiveness
You pull the shades
You accuse and you blame

- chorus 1 -

I fled the light just to live in your shadow
I needed mercy, and you offered me blame

Chorus 2
Dear shame:
I think I'm wise to your strategy
I won't be needing your company
My name's eternally clear
Dear shame
Dear shame
